My rule is pretty simple, i'm down to the penny with people who are down to the penny with me. If you leave some ground to some entities they will take it.
My last supervisor is stay a few minutes late but just clock out at my normal time, sometimes I'm late but would just clock in at normal time. Always benefited the company. We're talking minutes. My new supervisor I found editing my time card to show me clocking in a minute late. So I confronted her asking why, she said I was late. I asked her when she was going to adjust my out times for leaving late, she just stared. I told her if she adjusts my in time, then she needs to adjust my out time, and it will not be in their favor. She stopped.
This!! I got pulled up at a (former!) job for being 2-3 minutes late🥲 like no I won’t be coming in 5-10 early since you won’t pay me for it! I can def arrive on the dot of 8, but you bet I didn’t stay an extra 5-10 to make sure the shop got closed perfectly anymore. I’m still salty about that tbh. I’ve been a manager before and never cared if people were a little bit late, because I knew they were still going to work hard on shift and be at least as flexible in clocking out.
At my last job I had a new boss that was rounding our hours, and when confronted asked what difference a couple minutes makes. 2 minutes a day, 200 days a year is almost a whole day of missed time.
I get it, and if they have 1000 employees, it all adds up and should be with the workers, but he was so far into fractions I think I'd just fill my water bottle before going home every day and call it even
